Question

Acetylene form metal acetylides
but dimethyl acetylene does not form such
derivatives.why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is so because dimethly acetylene aceteliyene

Explanation:

Answer 2

Acetylene form metal acetylides but dimethyl acetylene does not form acetylides because it does not contain hydrogen.

The explanation for the answer  is

• When acetylene reacts with ammonical silver nitrate  $AgNO3$ solution or ammoniacal cuprous chloride $Cu2Cl2$ solution or sodamide, It forms an acetylide
• Acetylides contain acidic hydrogens. which means that  the electrons of the C-H bond in 1-alkynes will be more strongly held by the carbon nucleus
• and there will be easy removal of hydrogen as a proton.
• Acetylides are the carbides which are prepared with acetylene.
